Because of increasing anthropogenic outputs, lead (Pb) has gained attention as a potent environmental health hazard. Pb, a non-essential element, is persistent and cannot be degraded from the environment. This heavy metal contaminant is likely to enter human’s food chain, where it poses a hazard to public health. Phytoremediation has emerged as a

Sekarang teknologi pelayaran telah maju dengan sangat pesat. Hal ini ditandai dengan kian banyaknya system komputer berkinerja tinggi yang semakin kompak disertai sistem komunikasi yang saling terkoneksi untuk mendukung sistem radar dan satelit yang terpadu. Dengan dukungan teknologi yang telah ada, sebuah system navigasi dapat dibangun untuk menun

A study on physico-chemical parameters and pathogenic bacterial community was carried out at the coastal waters of Pulau Tuba island, Langkawi. The physico-chemical parameters such as temperature (27.43-28.88 degrees C), dissolved oxygen (3.79-6.49 mg l(-1)), pH (7.72-8.20), salinity (33.10-33.96 ppt), total dissolved solids (32.27-32.77 g l(-1)) a

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of fasting on blood lipid profile in fasting obese and non-obese subjects. Design/methodology/approach: Male and female subjects from the International Islamic University, Malaysia (IIUM), Kuantan Campus were assessed for body compositional changes during Ramadan fasting. In total, 25 mal

This work is about modeling a readout system across narrow gaps using inductive means for a contact-less transfer of signal. The signal source could be devices implanted in humans or animals or even devices embedded buried in inaccessible locations for monitoring purposes, while the readout devices are normally in accessible locations in the extern

In this paper, a novel profilograph has been designed and implemented to generate virtual terrain. Profilograph is necessary for civil engineering applications to map pavement smoothness. Traditional profilographs are big in size and take long time for mapping, although they are capable of generating pavement map but unable to show 3D graph. The pr

Metacognitive Strategies have been shown to contribute significandy to language learning success. Previous studies have also shown the important role that these Strategies play in ensuring success in listening comprehension. These studies have informed us that it was the differences in metacognitive Strategy use that differentiate skilled and less-

First of all, we would like to express our solemn gratitude to the “Almighty Allah” for giving us time and keeping us fit for work to timely complete this arduous project. Thanks to the authors from different countries who have contributed to the book, also thanks to those authors whose manuscripts we have not been able to include due to the ri

An important task in empirical research on prejudice, respect and inclusion in children is the measurement of attitudes and behaviours. Although the literature on measuring attitudes and behaviour in adults is of some assistance, it is also clear that the task of measuring children’s attitudes and behaviour presents particular problems and challe
